>This name, expressed as Malcus or Malcranus, also features as an apparent alias of Beliall in the Book of Oberon, who is attributed as the keeper of the gates of hell and is called forth to explain why spirits refuse to appear when they are commanded to
>"Shewe me the cause of his absence, o thou Beliall o thou Malcus o thou Malcranus whoe keepeth the gates of hell..."
>In another Book of Oberon conjuration, Malcranus is called alongside Femell, Alphasis, Emlon, and Rodabell, who are all kingly attendants of the Cardinal Kings, in the manner shown below
>"You four kinges Orience kinge of the East Paymon kinge of the West Amaymon kinge of the sowth and Egine kinge of the Northe, and thou Fenell [sic], Alphasis, Emlon, and thou O Rodybell, Sylquam, Malcranus, Maltrans, and Rasyel, Rasinet..."
>Furthermore, should the spirit refuse to come, their seal is burnt alongside that of Malcranis with a dollop of cat feces as part of a general curse for their disobedience
>"Then caste their pictures in to the fier and that of Sylquam Malcranis, and Rasynet, and the catts turdes etc. and burne them..."
>His addition to the Lemegeton therefore parallels that of Dantalion, in that they both have traceable origins as high-ranking devils important in the process of binding spirits but later have their original importance concealed when they enter the list of the Lemegeton. His appearance is not limited to these texts alone, however, as it appears alongside those of several of Ozia's aliases in the sixth square of Chapter XXIV of Book IV of the Abramelin, which deals with the recovery of every type of stolen item. This square comes under the separate management of both Ariton and Magoth, though of the two it is the former who also has a servitor called Andracos, whose name is also apparent in the square and bears a good degree of similarity to a truncated form of the name Andrew Malchus or Andromalcus as we may now otherwise present it
